Came across this article the other day…a @hypebeast article detailing the upcoming @ovo@champagnepapi x @jumpman23 Jordan IV ‘Splatter’ … in the first line it says “Although not much is known about the colorway, the Canadian rapper’s take on the classic Jordan Brand model is expected to release sometime next year.”If you ask your regular Drake fan, I’m sure they’d agree – […]
I know, I know, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. Who isn’t posting about the super bowl right now? IG posts talking about the 49ers and Chiefs. I’m not a fan of football in the least, but I’ve been fortunate to live in the Bay Area for the past 7 or 8 years and have seen the […]
And coming in at number 1 – my favorite Kobe model of all time…the Kobe VIII. This is definitely an understated shoe…most Kobes went under the radar for me, including this pair. The first colorway that caught my eye was the ‘Python’ colorway – Olive Green/Red/Black. Once I sat down and looked at it…put it […]
Swipe to see some HIGHlights 😂 I’m not really big on getting high or altered mind states (on a regular basis), but the first time I ever got high was the first night I sat down and watched a full Laker (Kobe) game from tipoff to buzzer. I had just returned home from class and […]
Coming in at number 2…the Nike Kobe VI. I kind of debated putting this shoe as number one first as it’s just such a unique shoe…I’ve owned a handful of pairs over the years, but was hoping they’d retro some more interesting colorways before I bought another pair. Some of the more interesting colorways go […]
I’m not the biggest @champagnepapi hater, nor am I the biggest fan. I don’t hate him as much as most people my age seem to, but I could definitely live my life without ever listening to another one of his songs on purpose. Drake has about as much to do with basketball and basketball culture as…I dunno…dental […]
Yay! You too can become a sneaker influencing millionaire! So I’ve been getting a bunch of emails from companies insisting that I’m well on my way to becoming a ‘sneaker influencer’ and they want to work with me for something like ONLY $400/week to help me grow my Instagram following. ONLY $400 A week!!!!! I […]
(2/2) Samples or Fakes cont’d…When I got home, I snapped a couple of pics and sent them over to my legit check partners and I got a response pretty quickly – ‘likely fake – they only released 4 colorways and this wasn’t one of them’. I found an article from @sneakernews back in May of 2018 with […]
A few people hit me up asking about the inspiration on the colorway for the Nomo’s I posted the other day so here y’all go…I believe the first time I saw this colorway (or something very similar) was on the OG Nike Air Huaurache Carnivores (the one on the bottom). Can’t say I felt like […]
(1/2) A not-very-compelling-story…Pulled up to @buffaloexchange last night before running to the shop to pick up my shipments. Came across a pair of @undercover_lab x @nike React 87’s on the racks and was a bit skeptical as I didn’t recognize the colorway…not that that’s ever stopped me before – I frequently come across samples and shoes unreleased to the general public […]
